What is Rounding to the Nearest Whole Number?
Rounding to the nearest whole number is the process of approximating a number by eliminating its decimal part and adjusting it to the closest integer. If the decimal is less than 0.5, the number is rounded down to the nearest integer. If the decimal is 0.5 or above, it is rounded up to the nearest integer. For example:
- 4.6 rounds to 5 (as 0.6 is greater than 0.5)
- 3.2 rounds to 3 (as 0.2 is less than 0.5)
